Kentucky records first shutout since 2009 in blowout of Youngstown State

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky overcame a slow offensive start for a 31-0 win over Youngstown State for its first shutout since the 2009 season opener. The win moved UK to 3-0 on the season.

Kentucky failed to score on its first three offensive drives, including one in which quarterback Will Levis threw an interception just shy of the end zone, but the Wildcats finally broke through with a 1-yard Levis touchdown run on the third play of the second quarter.

A successful two-minute drive just before halftime gave Kentucky a 21-0 lead heading into intermission. A touchdown on the first Kentucky drive of the third quarter ended any hopes of a Youngstown State comeback.
